I'd go with Home Premium (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1683211675). Here's a promo code for $10 off MCMLNN23.

Well, compare the versions yourself (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/compare) and decide which features you need.

Any of the versions will work. If it's a Windows disc that is either XP, Vista, or 7, it'll work.
